PIPELINE WIFE WHO LEARNED HOW TO NAVIGATE LIVING ON THE ROAD AND FINDING HER THING AT THE SAME TIME

15 Aug, 2018

Ever wonder what it would take to quit your life and transition into a lifestyle of full-time travel? Well, today we are getting a behind-the-scenes look at exactly how that transition works! I am joined by Mary Kate Page, also known as MK or XOMK online, for an exclusive chat about her journey as a pipeline wife and how she was able to redefine success for her own life.

Mary Kate is an entrepreneur at heart and a part of the double mastectomy sisterhood. She loves graphic T's, laughter, and coffee. She’s also a dog mom and, of course, a pipeline wife! There are so many things about her that I absolutely love. Over the last couple of months I’ve gotten to know her and I believe that her story is going to inspire so many people.

Our interview lasted for quite a while, so today’s episode is going to be the first part of our conversation and next week will be part two. We are diving into MK’s background, her first part of adulthood, and how she became a pipeline wife. On next week’s episode, we are talking all about her double mastectomy, her experience as part of the sisterhood, and what exactly her future holds.

I am just so excited for you to join us for today’s episode. So keep listening to hear more and be sure to come back next week for part two of MK’s story!
